2025 Chevy Traverse First Look: Roomy, Relaxed, and Ready

2025 Chevrolet Traverse

As experts who have helped hundreds of families find their perfect vehicle here at The Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we can confidently say the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is a standout option for anyone needing space, comfort, and everyday capability—without breaking the bank.

Big Space, Big Value

If you're looking for a spacious three-row SUV that blends contemporary style with everyday practicality, the 2025 Traverse is a standout choice. It competes confidently with class leaders like the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Ford Explorer, all while bringing a unique Chevy personality and impressive overall value to the table.

A Fresh Powertrain with Muscle and Efficiency

Under the hood, the Traverse now features a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission. With 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, it’s actually more powerful than the outgoing V6 and still tows up to 5,000 pounds—great for hauling trailers, boats, or weekend gear.

Tech That Wows Every Passenger

The Traverse isn’t just powerful; it’s packed with tech. Every trim comes with a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster, both running on Chevrolet’s smooth and intuitive Google-based infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with six USB ports, wireless charging, and available Wi-Fi hotspot capability.

Safety and Peace of Mind on Every Drive

Even at the entry level, the Traverse comes loaded with smart safety features like automatic high beams, pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, and lane-keeping assist. For those who want more, the available Super Cruise hands-free driving system makes highway travel incredibly stress-free. On trims like the Z71 and High Country, Super Cruise even handles lane changes on its own.

Comfortable Inside, Capable Outside

The High Country trim features beautiful jet black leather seating with subtle bronze and silver accents that elevate the entire cabin. Every button and screen is thoughtfully placed. Even the third row offers adult-friendly comfort, with more than 33 inches of legroom—something many rivals can't match.

Need space? You’ve got it. With all seats folded, the Traverse gives you up to 97.6 cubic feet of cargo room, making it ideal for road trips, home improvement runs, or soccer practice carpool duty.

Smooth Cruising, Everyday Comfort

Behind the wheel, the Traverse glides over bumps and rough pavement with ease—even on available 22-inch wheels. The ride is smooth and refined, with comfortable seating that keeps passengers relaxed mile after mile. Whether you're running errands or headed on a cross-country vacation, this SUV gets the job done with grace.

Fuel-Saving Performance

The new powertrain isn’t just stronger—it’s also more efficient. The front-wheel-drive Traverse achieves up to 23 mpg combined, making it more economical than many shoppers expect from a vehicle of this size. All-wheel-drive models still do great, offering around 20 mpg combined, depending on the trim.

A Competitive Price for a Fully Loaded Experience

The High Country trim offers excellent value for a top-of-the-line three-row SUV. With its refined design, advanced safety features, and cutting-edge technology, it delivers a premium experience. Even with optional upgrades like premium paint or all-wheel drive, it remains a smart and accessible choice for families who want it all without stretching the budget.

Bottom Line?

The 2025 Chevy Traverse hits the sweet spot between family-friendly function and modern-day refinement. It’s one of the easiest vehicles to recommend right now—and it’s a great SUV to have on the lot. Spacious, well-equipped, and built to last—the 2025 Traverse delivers big where it matters most.
